Re: new boot floppies being uploaded

The configuration file is changed - I think you have to copy /usr/lib/keymaps/es.map into /etc/kbd/default.map . I'm surprised the package didn't do this for you while upgrading. Thanks Bruce -- Bruce Perens K6BP [EMAIL PROTECTED] Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP

Re: Problems with Compaq Prosignia vs

Try the boot disk set in ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/frozen/disks-i386/1996-12-8 . It has more disk controllers set up to autoconfigure. You can probably figure out what SCSI controller you have that way. Bruce -- Bruce Perens K6BP [EMAIL PROTECTED] Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP

Re: Debian on Infomagic CD

I think the license should be placed in the archive next to the package so that it is easy to read. Regarding InfoMagic, I think this time he only has one CD for Debian, and thus some stuff like "contrib" and "non-free" might not make it on to the CD. Thanks

Linux can mount Windows 95 filesystems. Ther may still be a problem with NT filesystems, I'm not sure. It can be a client, server, or browse master for Windows networks. It shares disks and printers. There is very limited support for executing Windows programs under Linux. Bruce --
